Maskineriet

I really enjoy this show. I'm not a great fan off all the Nordic noir. They really should start think differently and renew the genre . But I noticed that Maskineriet have the same director as Gåsmamman, another Swedish series I like with a different tone and great casting .

Why ? Complicated plot (for no good reason) and way too many characters. Adding more and more ingredients don't make a better result. Keeping it simple and cutting out 80% of all the unnecessary crap could have saved this one.

This is not by any means a low budget production. Boats, action shots, helicopters, well known actors and numerous locations must have cost a lot. But most of it doesn't really add anything to the storyline (that is very hard to follow) The positive is that the main roles are well casted. Overall good acting from the main characters. Something that can't be said about the rest.

Script on it's own isn't bad, it's just the plot and storyline that spoils it. It's a shame really.

Ok start. However that cop lady might be the worst actress i have ever seen

I tried so hard to watch episode by episode, but the story gets very boring and the acting of some characters it's just cringe. Especially the cop lady. Just skip to the last episode, save your time.

I thought this series deserved much better reviews and ratings. I haven't seen all the episodes yet, i'm on episode 5 and all those episodes were full of excitement and action! I give the series and Kristoffer Joner 9/10
